“Boss, what should we do now?” After enduring the full silence for a long time, the tattooed youth nervously spoke and asked Li Kanglong.

“What the hell can I do… I can only recognize my defeat today and let that high school student play anything he likes. As long as he’s happy, Young Master Long will also calm down, and we would be able to continue opening the Game Hall.” Li Kanglong was full with bitterness and an astringent feeling while recalling Long Zhenglin’s father’s power in Star City.

At this moment, Li Kanglong desperately wanted to fiercely slap his own face a few times. Had he been a little more generous and willing to dig some money up for that high school student, this situation wouldn’t have happened.

Now, not only had he offended Young Master Long, but he might also lose more money.

“Boss, if that high school student really has found out the regular pattern for winning the slot machine’s prize, then we will be losing too much money since we had yet to clean up the game coins in the slot machines for nearly a week.” The tattooed youth spoke in a worried tone.

“Researching the regular pattern to win the slot machine’s prize? You think too much! How the hell could there be such a genius in Star City? If there is such a genius, it would be much better to directly go to gamble in Macau, why the hell would he need to come to my small shop, huh?” Li Kanglong quite disagreed when he heard the tattooed youth’s words.

Although Li Kanglong said that Tang Xiu could never study the general pattern to hit the slot machine’s jackpot; however, unusual restlessness filled his heart.

If it were not for the fear and dread of the powerful backer behind Long Zhenglin, Li Kanglong would have quickly kicked Tang Xiu out from the Game Hall.

While Li Kanglong and his goons were drowning in uneasiness, Tang Xiu was disposing of everything without even the slightest scruple.

After hitting the jackpot for 3 times previously, Tang Xiu already became famous in the Health and Prosper Club. Whenever he was facing a slot machine, the majority of the people would give their queue position to Tang Xiu, and let him display his unique skill of controlling the slot machine to spray out game coins.

However, some others who saw Tang Xiu line up behind them thought that the slot machine would certainly give a 100% winning rate, so they were unwilling to leave their spots. But Tang Xiu only laughed and didn’t speak as he didn’t hesitate to line up in front of other slot machines, causing those people an incessant embarrassment and feeling of loss, not knowing what to do.

Because the Game Hall’s aggressive attitude enraged Tang Xiu, his next moves were absolutely unrestrained, and didn’t even care about the Game Hall’s standing anymore.

After that, everyone in the Game Hall witnessed the episodes of the game coins’ spraying from the slot machines.

3 game coins in, 12,000 game coins spat out.

17 game coins in, 6,000 game coins sprayed out.

99 game coins in, 22,000 game coins burst out.

****

In just half an hour, Tang Xiu had swept more than half of the slot machines in the Game Hall, with each slot machine giving Tang Xiu several thousands to tens of thousands of game coins, while the most impressive one gave him more than 20,000 game coins.

Even those players who hung onto certain slot machines and refused to give their location remained puzzled even after pondering his actions over a hundred of times. Although they also eventually won the prize, but the odds were very small, and then waited until they had spent their game coins. Never were they able to win the prize more than once.

When they realized that they were unable to even make money by seizing the slot machines, nobody resorted to these petty tricks again and took Tang Xiu cheaply, while the rest of people in the Game Hall also excessively praised him, full of admiration.

Finally, all the players in the Game Hall were disturbed by Tang Xiu, and they also didn’t attend to their own slot machine, but rushed behind Tang Xiu. Wherever Tang Xiu walked, they would always follow him behind, as they wanted to see whether the miracle would continue to happen.

When Tang Xiu was crazily sweeping several tens of thousands of game coins in the Game Hall, Li Kanglong almost cried, because he was perfectly aware that even though the Game Hall’s profit was very big, it didn’t mean that all that profits were his sole possession.

In fact, Li Kanglong was but only the Game Hall’s boss on the surface, because the majority of the shares mostly belonged to other people. So, once he lost too miserably, not only would he be kicked from his boss’ position, he even had to dig the money from his own pocket to fill the deficit.

But facing Long Zhenglin’s threat, Li Kanglong didn’t dare to take any actions.

Li Kanglong at most could subsidize it using his money bit by bit should the Game Hall fall into extreme deficit. But if he dared to ignore Long Zhenglin’s words, he could and would lose his life.

At this very moment, Li Kanglong’s regret literally had made his intestines green. He was bleeding from his heart.

Li Kanglong regretted that he was too stingy, and also regretted he was too headstrong in front of Tang Xiu.

Had Long Zhenglin gave his permission, Li Kanglong wished that he could immediately run and kneel to Tang Xiu, and beg him to not continue playing.

But under Long Zhenglin’s smiling expression that faintly threatened him, it caused Li Kanglong to simply not dare to approach Tang Xiu, let alone apologize to him.

“Damn, Tang Xiu is really awesome, it’s no wonder that he got good results in the test and has always been taking the first grade, and also took so many Olympic Games competition medal back for the school.”

“Huh, it’s not right, hasn’t Big Brother Fei said that Tang Xiu’s brain is damaged? But I’m really sure that his performance just now could never be explained by only luck. Tang Xiu must absolutely have calculated the slot machine’s odds and its general patterns to hit the jackpot.”

Su Duanxin and Tan Liquan looked at Su Xiangfei’s complexion that already turned pale and ugly as they both whispered to each other.

“Do you think Tang Xiu is very clever? Envying Tang Xiu because he won so much money?” Upon seeing Su Duanxin’s and Tan Liquan’s envious expressions, Su Xiangfei let out a disdainful smile, “I firmly believe that his mind still has some problems!”

“You can think about this, how could such a big Game Hall run a business in the most bustling Ensemble Heroes Street in the Star City? Could this Game Hall’s boss be a nobody? If he let Tang Xiu continue making trouble like this, where the hell should the Game Hall’s boss put his face? Tang Xiu is only making money and exchanging it with his life!” Looking at Tang Xiu’s complacent and proud expression, a pitying expression flashed across Su Xiangfei’s face.

After listening to Su Xiangfei’s analysis, Su Duanxin and Tan Liquan couldn’t help but tremble with fear…

At the next moment, they no longer looked at Tang Xiu with envy and jealous’ eyes, but instead turned into pitying and sympathetic looks.
